A life proclaimed to be more precious than any other within the goddess’ own existence, radiant and resplendent as a jewel. I, once revered as a Kumari, a vessel of the goddess despite my tender age, was in truth nothing more than a tool to my family, and the moment my value faded, they cast me aside into the slums, where I died.
Beneath the crushing weight of ice-cold stone in the midst of an earthquake, my heart heavy with bitterness and remorse, I believed that death had finally claimed me. Yet when I opened my eyes once more, I found myself inhabiting the body of the female protagonist of a desolate novel, one I had happened upon in my former life, and one who bore an unsettling resemblance to myself.
‘But was it truly a coincidence?’
Even in this world, branded as a child blessed by the goddess, I was bound to restrain the cursed power of the wolf crown prince, all in service of the empire.
“I can’t die again after being used like I was in the past!”
To evade the selfish and insolent wolf crown prince, the very man who had driven the novel’s heroine to her death, was the only means of prolonging my fragile life. Preventing my fated marriage to him became my life’s foremost purpose…
And yet…something was amiss. Was he really as terrible as I’d believed?
